While TNA's Joe Hendy is now the new #1 contender for Ethan Page's NXT Championship, one other TNA star who'll be appearing imminently for NXT is Rosemary.

With NXT also taping next week's episode last night, and as first reported by Fightful Select's Corey Brennan, Rosemary made an appearance and challenged NXT Women's North American Champion Kelani Jordan to a match for later in the show. Ever the fighting babyface, Jordan accepted that challenge and the two did indeed have a match that will air next Tuesday.

A 16-year veteran of the squared circle, Rosemary - a former TNA Knockouts Champion, a four-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion, and once a Shimmer Tag Team Champion with NXT trainer Sara Del Rey - is the latest name to be involved in the working relationship between TNA and WWE, joining Joe Hendry, Frankie Kazarian, Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Ash by Elegance and of course Jordynne Grace as TNA talents to appear in NXT. On the other side of this, NXT's No Quarter Catch Crew, Izzi Dame, and Tatum Paxley are amongst those to have popped up in TNA.
